PEOPLE.Sure we mean that figuratively, because we count on one another like family. But also because many of those who work here are brothers, sisters, parents, cousins or in-laws of former or current associates. There’s a feeling of pride and responsibility here that you won’t find anywhere else. That may be why people tend to stay with us, sometimes for as long as 40 or 50 years. Without a doubt, our associates are our greatest asset. We are indebted to them for their hard work and dedication. Providing them with a safe and secure work environment is our first priority. Even in a highly cyclical industry, we haven’t had a layoff at our Plastics Division since 1982, and not since 1957 at our Cast Iron Division.

A PROUD HERITAGE OF FAMILY OWNERSHIPTHAT GOES BACK FOUR GENERATIONSWillis Frank Dowd started Charlotte Pipe and Foundry in 1901, employing 25 men in the company’sfirst foundry. Today, we’re still a privately held family company, now employing more than 1,400 men and women in our seven locations across the U.S.A.

Private ownership means we can make decisions based on what’s in the best long-term interests for the Company and our associates, not for the quarterly earnings report or P/E ratio. Under the leadership of W.F. Dowd’s grandsons and great-grandsons, Charlotte Pipe has grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of both cast iron and plastic pipe and fittings.

CAST IRONWe manufacture a full line of service, extra-heavy and No-Hub cast iron soil pipe and fittings in sizes from 1½ inches through 15 inches, and double-hub pipe from 2 inches through 6 inches. Charlotte Pipe is the only company that makes double-hub and extra-heavy pipe.

TECHNOLOGYWe continuously reinvest in our plants and equipment to be sure we are operating the most advanced production technology available and have the capacity required to fill orders completely and in a timely manner. We use automated high-volume equipment, like our Disamatic vertical molding machines, to produce our fittings at a rate of hundreds of molds per hour.

ECOATCharlotte Pipe’s ecoating is an extremely efficient process for the application of coating onto a metal surface. Fittings are sent through a 15-stage process, including multiple cleaning stages, followed by the application of a zinc phosphate base coat, and then two stages where a top coat is applied. The coating is then cured for one hour at 400 degrees F. An aesthetic improvement, ecoat offers customers a consistent, thin, even coating.

It is an environmentally friendly process which has almost no VOCs and no toxic chemicals—the same process used on 95% of all vehicles produced in the world.

QUIET HOUSE®

Exclusively from Charlotte Pipe, The QuietHouse System is a unique plumbing system that combines sound-deadening cast iron with economical PVC for a plumbing system that is twice as quiet as an all-plastic system. It offers a lifetime of quality and quiet for little more than the cost of an all-plastic system. You’ll hear no sloshing, gurgling or gushing noises within the walls of the home. To see an experiment Charlotte Pipe conducted to test the sound of various DWV systems, visit charlottepipe.com/DWVsoundtest. Both cast iron and PVC were tested.

PLASTICS (CONT.)

RePVC®

RePVC® pipe is a coextruded, solid-wall Schedule 40 pipe that uses 100% recycled content as its center layer. RePVC slows consumption of virgin raw materials and reduces the amount of waste entering landfills. It’s a durable, cost-effective system that’s simple to install. Recycled content makes up 30-80% of the pipe’s overall wall thickness, while the inner and outer skins of the pipe are made from virgin materials. RePVC is manufactured to ASTM D 4396 and ASTM F 1760 standards, and is NSF listed.

ReUZE®

ReUze® is a complete CPVC CTS piping system for the distribution of reclaimed water, rainwater and gray water. It gives engineers and others in the green and sustainability industry a practical, easy-to-install system for non-potable water uses inside commercial and residential buildings. Installing the ReUze system can make thousands of gallons of non-potable water available for applications such as cooling tower make-up

water, toilet and urinal flushing, process water and more. ReUze meets all requirements of domestic non-potable water systems, is clearly marked “Do Not Drink” and is purple in color.

ORDER MANAGEMENT / INVENTORY

SAFETY / PLANT INVESTMENTS

We manufacture for inventory, not for orders, which helps us maintain high fill rates with short lead times. To enhance efficiency, we use SAP software, which links real-time order entry with inventory management and production scheduling. And streamlining shipments by top-loading plastic pipe on cast iron means one phone call gets you one truckload, from one supplier, when you want it. We also offer numerous electronic services, including our online HUB, Charlotte Pipe Connect, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), order confirmation and shipment notifications, invoice options and Automatic Clearing House (ACH) payments—all designed to make it easy for you to do business with Charlotte Pipe.

Safety is the number one goal at Charlotte Pipe each and every day. We believe that a safe and clean plant is a productive plant. Our 5-S program provides the framework that keeps us focused on cleanliness and safety, both of which are vital to manufacturing efficiency and the well-being of our associates. We’re proud of our safety record, which far exceeds industry averages.

We’re also constantly reinvesting in plants and new equipment so that we operate the most advanced production technology available. This helps us provide the safest workplace possible and gives us the capacity required to fill orders completely and in a timely manner.

CUSTOMER SERVICE / charlottepipe.comOur information systems, powered by SAP software, give plant managers and customer service teams a wealth of information, including real-time inventory balances. Scheduling and obtaining information on shipments is quick and customer-friendly. Customer accounts are handled by teams instead of a single service rep, so we can be more responsive. And, of course, charlottepipe.com is an invaluable resource for information any time of day, and includes our literature shop so you can order any product literature you need.

LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU

CORPORATE CITIZEN

Charlotte Pipe is proud to be a part of the communities where we work and live. As such, we take seriously our role as a corporate citizen. A bag house at our cast iron foundry filters out particles created by our melting process and keeps them from entering the atmosphere. Our modern wastewater-treatment plant removes metals and other solids from water used to cool machines in the foundry. With this water-saving facility, we have drastically reduced our water discharge and reuse 100% of our treated water. We work closely with the EPA, along with state and local officials, to maintain an excellent environmental record.

Charlotte Pipe’s corporate citizenship goes beyond our commitment to being good environmental stewards. Our company and associates donate generously of their time and resources to various community organizations. Many of our associates also serve on nonprofit boards and volunteer regularly.
